How do Vietnamese celebrate the Spring Festival?

Vietnam celebrates the Spring Festival, also known as the Vietnamese Lunar New Year. Vietnamese not only celebrate the Spring Festival, but also use the lunar calendar like China. Vietnamese regard the Spring Festival as a day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Generally, preparations for the Spring Festival begin in the middle of February of the 65438+ lunar calendar.

The Vietnamese celebrate the Spring Festival because of the influence of China culture. In the history of China, north-central Vietnam has long been the territory of China, and Vietnam has been a vassal state of China for generations.

Vietnam's new year's goods include zongzi, glutinous rice cakes, flowers, Spring Festival couplets, firecrackers and other items. Vietnamese New Year's Zongzi is the same as China's, but it is square and much bigger. Generally, it is 200 grams of glutinous rice, with 200 grams of pork and 150 grams of mung bean paste in the middle and banana leaves outside.

Vietnamese Spring Festival couplets used to be written in Chinese characters. Later, Chinese characters were pinyin, so Chinese characters were not used. Vietnamese also like to post the word "Fu" or some New Year pictures at home during the Spring Festival.
